After Eternity achieved his goal, he left, and Hong Fei returned to Earth.
After defeating Thanos, the Superpower Foundation released a large amount of footage to announce to the world yet another great and righteous victory.
The warships and alien corpses transported back from space also served as proof of the battle's authenticity.
Thus, a lively celebration immediately swept across the world. Some even proposed making this day an annual holiday.
But Hong Fei did not immerse himself in the joyous atmosphere. He was still thinking about Eternity.
Eternity was an abstract lifeform born at the instant of the Big Bang. He was a manifestation, a collective, and the physical embodiment of the universe.
In other words, the Eternity of this universe was the universe itself.
Viewed from that angle, when this universe was destroyed, the Eternity Hong Fei had seen would also perish along with it.
Thinking of it this way, Eternity's appearance—whether for the public purpose of preserving the universe and all life, or the private purpose of avoiding his own extinction—made sense.
But something making sense did not necessarily mean it was entirely true.
The greatest question was why Eternity seemed to place such high hopes on Hong Fei, and why he had said that the multiverse might not need infinity.
What was he trying to do?
Did he want to turn Marvel's infinitely vast multiverse into a multiverse with a fixed number of universes, like DC's?
For one thing, to achieve such a goal, an astonishing number of universes would inevitably have to disappear.
That stood in direct contrast to the reason Eternity had appeared this time.
Wouldn't that create a paradox?
So what exactly did Eternity want? What did he intend to use Hong Fei for?
Hong Fei could not understand it for the time
